I think there is more to the selection issue as well. I'd dare say the majority of those who pursue law enforcement have good intentions. However, the profession has become marred by the idiot few and it has become a profession seen as undesirable. In essence, the quality of recruits has slipped and it's getting harder to put good candidates into the spots available.
I heard this kid I used to manage at a previous job a few years ago is in the process of becoming a cop. I think he's just a community service officer or whatever that position is as of now. But if he gets a badge and a gun... the state of our PD really must be in the shitter. He wasn't a bad kid, I don't think he has any poor intentions, but to put it bluntly, your dog is smarter. Literally the worst, most incompetent person I've ever had to work with. The type of dumb that really sticks with you throughout life when you recall the dumbest people you ever met. I wouldn't trust him to retrieve my mail, much less trust him in life or death situations.
I hope it doesn't happen but I fear one day I'll hear his name on the news for the wrong reasons.
